The Rubaiyat has been rendered into English Quatrains. When Edward Fitzgerald translated these 11th-century Persian poems in 1859 they became something of a sensation after one admiring reader passed them on to his friends--a circle that included Browning, Rosetti, and Tennyson. Omar Khayyam was famous in his own day as a mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher, and although his mathematical studies were once hugely influential in the West, he is known to much of the world today as a poet, and his RUBAIYAT as the chief exemplar of the Arabic verse form "roba'i, " a poem composed in quatrains in which the first, second and fourth lines rhyme.
